2. What impressed me the most was that in the hazy morning, Christine, the mother who lost her son, walked uneasy to the court accompanied by the pastor. She will sue the local police station and the city government: her nine-year-old son is missing. , five months later, the police forced a strange boy into her, saying it was her son. She refused to recognize her, and begged the police station to help find her son in every possible way, but ended up being sent to an insane asylum.
As a woman, she was lonely and miserable - her husband disappeared when she was pregnant, and her only son is still missing. On this unusual morning, however, she was lucky and warmer - on their way to the courthouse, angry crowds filled the streets, holding placards and chanting slogans, to the weak and Resilient woman cheers. By her side, there is the pastor full of justice, the lawyer who has won four lawsuits against the authorities, these two men, one helps and encourages her with perseverance and perseverance, the other uses reason and wisdom to defend the dignity of the law and her rights as a citizen. Christine, how lucky are you when you are bereaved and framed!
3. The film tells us at the beginning that this is a true story. When Christine decided to tell reporters the truth, the police commissioner was furious, and he repeated his old trick by forcibly escorting the poor woman to a mental hospital on the grounds of violating Article 12. In Los Angeles in 1928, as the pastor declared in a speech, people were under the rule of a "darkest, most corrupt, and incompetent" police department. The police officers who cover the sky even use their power to know the law and break the law to make huge profits for themselves. To those who dare to disagree and say "no", they will send you to a mental hospital without saying a word - the doctors there (including doctors from other hospitals) ) has long been bribed or coerced by them, the police say you are sick, you are sick, the police say you are sick, you are sick! How can you argue, even if you have a hundred words, you can't argue for yourself!
4. Christine was put in a mental hospital, where she met a woman who was a prostitute - she was beaten many times by a police client, and she was sent in just as she wanted to report it. The woman pointed it to Christine and told her that there are many women here who are completely normal people, but unfortunately offended the police, they all committed the crime of violating "Article 12". In this hospital, she was drenched in cold water, subjected to rough examinations by doctors, forced to take medicine, threatened and intimidated. Her beauty and grace were gone, and she was followed by deep fear and despair. When Christine again refused to sign the documents to prove the police innocence, the doctor decided to electrocute her - naturally, they have a nice name to describe this horrible punishment.
5. I really thought this was the end of Christine. The so-called mental hospital was no different from a prison at this time, and it was the most terrifying, ruthless and ruthless prison. He couldn't help but immediately think of whether Lin Zhao was in such a situation back then. Isolate from the outside world, lose contact with all the people who love me, want to send a word to the outside, a thousand impossible, and want people outside to come in and see me, it is almost impossible to go to the sky! The young and beautiful Lin Zhao was brutally and secretly murdered after six years of imprisonment. Christine may not die, but if she wants to go out, she has to admit the police's innocence and her guilt, or refuse to accept the crime. Shameless conditions have been locked up until old age! But she didn't (you have to admit, such close-quarters miracles happen more often in America than in countries like ours). At the moment when the electricity was about to pass through her body, the priest came like a messenger of God and rescued her. And in the late night when Lin Zhao was hoarse, who was her god?
6. So, when thousands of people spontaneously took to the streets to protest to the police for Christine that morning, victory was doomed. Moro pointed out in the article "Why Giants Became Giants" that the reason why Herzen became a ideological giant in Russian history stemmed from the land where he grew up and the rich nutrition that was conducive to his spiritual growth: December The party and their wives, the teacher of Herzen at the age of fourteen, the upright General Stahl, the humanitarian governor of the island, the coachman who respected the revolutionaries... , Heroes are not lonely and helpless, not "drawing swords and looking around at a loss", from generals, nobles, down to ordinary people, they dare to speak up for justice, dare to send respect and care to heroes in distress, and have the courage to stand up And give the heroes the help and support they can. Just like the priest who has been doing his best to help weak women in this movie, and the lawyer who is "too expensive to pay", because it is too expensive, he is simply free, how much does his gentle and firm look and smile give Christine? Courage and consolation.
7. The building of the courthouse has been tall and majestic since ancient times. People standing under the high steps are so small that they will despise themselves. And that morning, the court was still tall and majestic, and the human body was still not sturdy enough, but Christine walked up the steps with great determination-because behind her, there was a surging stream of people, and the strength of countless people gathered in Together, it can be a landslide, a tsunami, and it can be overwhelming and shocking!
8. There are cases where individuals sued the police station and the city government and won. I wonder if we have any in China? Those who are persecuted or framed by the authorities and convicted can regain their freedom and seek justice. I wonder if there are any in China? Lonely and helpless, but unexpectedly received huge help from the whole society to turn things around, I wonder, do we have any in China?
9. I remember a line that appeared twice in the film: "Don't pick things up casually, but stay with you to the end." Concise, straightforward, resolute, and brave. Doubts are still - in a nation that lacks a sense of justice, how likely is it to accompany to the end and win?
10. Anyway, I still like this "true story" and hope that it will become more real in our land.
